Suspense film with extra points for literary interest [Cat]

Edgar Allen Poe is a weird role in the history of American and even world literature, not only because his poems and novels are melancholy, horror, and mysterious, setting the benchmark for American Gothic style, but also because of Poe’s name and influence. , Is made by his loyal fans. Just like in this film, Poe, who has never met with talent, chanted long live France, cursed the American literary and art circles for lack of vision and commercialization. His poems and even life stories were promoted to France through the translation and introduction of the sympathetic French poet Baudelaire. After France and even Europe became popular, he was recognized by the native American literary circles. And Poe’s rigorous logic and full of eerie and cult beauty of criminal reasoning thriller stories inspired him another hugely influential fan, that is, Conan Doyle, who wrote the "Holmes" series. In recent years, "Ful Moss" has been so prosperous that the filmmakers have dug up Po, the originator of detective novels, to make a suspenseful commercial film, which seems to follow the trend. It’s a pity that the image effect of "The Crow" is neither as cool and modern as Guy Ritchie, nor can it match Tim Burton’s strong classical Gothic style. It’s suspenseful and exciting, and it’s not as good as "Human Bone Puzzle" and "The Silent". "Lamb" is so intertwined and thrilling.
Therefore, the appeal of the film is the literary gimmick, which brings together works familiar to Poe's book fans, such as the novel "The Heart of Leaking Secrets", "The Mask of the Red Dead", the poems "Annabelle", "The Crow" and so on. It does discuss the relationship between artists and fans, art and life. The criminal who led a series of bloody murders based on the plot of Poe's novels and deliberately left clues in the whole drama is a fan of Poe, and the humble typographer around him. Is it art or evil that inspires crime? Judging from the ending of the novel in which he finally forced Poe to practice his life in exchange for his lover’s life, he does not love the writer himself, but his works. He even regards himself as Poe’s muse, and even the work itself. However, the madman who regarded killing as an art-even able to push a sequel according to the plot, he escaped and then destroyed Jules Verne-the criminal acts, especially the kidnapping of Poe's sweetheart, did stimulate again Poe’s creative inspiration, but this was not what Poe wanted.
In contrast, Poe in the film is a normal person who can distinguish between art and life, and he also has the image of literary genius that people imagine: alcoholism, irritability, hardship, full of love and passion, and even added the courageous spirit that they usually lack. He is a first-rate visionary who masters the art of fiction, a good man, and even a hero. Poe once had a famous aesthetic argument: there is nothing more beautiful than melancholy in the world, and nothing more melancholy than the death of a young and beautiful lover. This is the most beautiful. The romantic poem "Annabellali" that the heroine recites from time to time is an example. The film uses the mouth of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to express Poe's sorrow: every woman he loves dies in his arms. The article hates fate, so it's appropriate to put Po on his body. Murder fans enjoy the beauty of cult with the lives of others, while Poe is forced to use his own life to achieve this beauty. Therefore, the former is a despicable plagiarist, and the latter is an artist.

Highlights: Suitable for everyone who likes Poe's works. The crime restores the novel scenes, bloody horror, and various literary and artistic eggs; it is also suitable for fans of criminal reasoning films.
